One sight of one of those things and all went crumbling down: it felt like a genuine mockery of human intelligence and/or a humble and innocent concept being twisted for shits and giggles.
Yes, I see it's supposed to be a joke, but it's like having the lactose and still being able to consume milk, if that makes sense. The notion of the humor I get, but the notion of why of such form and topic, it almost fries my brain trying to process, not before imbuing me into a storm of rage and confusion.
I still see the insane juxtaposition and silliness, a small speck would be able to laugh. But ultimately, the other emotions take over.
How come the comment section seems to laugh at the first look whereas my first reaction is confusion and a broken heart at best, irritation and an explosion at worst?
Maybe, I'm just that, different. Or you know, I should try to cut off my internet as much as I can (except the fact that such shit also exists in paper and TV).
Addendum: Of course, not all things I find disagreeable;
That guy who acts ignorant doing shit that's dangerous and illegal? That guy who becomes the caricature of my culture spewing all things supposedly hilariously offensive and shocking from his mouth? That guy who satirizes all things I love in life? Those I do not find enjoyment in.
If there's karmic justice involved and/or these people gets knocked into their senses, only then I can find all the shock value palatable.
I guess I just rely too much on justice, cause-and-effect and the intelligence of humanity to keep me safe. Sure, time and again, these things are becoming less helpful and abundant. However, the idea of people spending even a minute throwing any of these in the trash feels like humanity giving up hope on all these.
Pretty standard Reddit opinion I'd say.
